Evan Meek is listed among the Orioles' relievers, as expected, and will be added to the roster for Game 1 of today's doubleheader against the Rays at Camden Yards.
The Orioles haven't announced the official roster moves, but Kevin Gausman appears to be the 26th player.
Steve Pearce is in left field and Caleb Joseph is behind the plate.
Alex Colome is making his fourth major league start today, and his first this season after one relief appearance. He's never faced the Orioles and they...
Tanner Roark struggled at Triple-A in 2012, but "just got over it mentally," as he put it this past winter when asked about his breakout campaign in 2013.
"That was the biggest thing," the 27-year-old right-hander said. "I knew I had the tools, I just needed to get out of my own head and that's what helped me come up here and be able to do what I'm doing right now and keep doing what I'm doing, hopefully for a long time."
The former Texas Rangers prospect finished the 2012 season at...

The Orioles will add two pitchers to their roster for Friday's doubleheader against the Rays at Camden Yards.
Kevin Gausman will come off the taxi squad to pitch Game 1, and reliever Evan Meek will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to provide another arm in the bullpen.
Meek was spotted tonight at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (or BWI, to keep it simple), and I got it confirmed. He's in town.
Starter Bud Norris will be placed on the 15-day disabled list,...
CHICAGO - Yet again, the Nationals battled back from a deficit, finding a way to even the score with the Cubs after trailing 3-0 in the fourth inning tonight.
Three Nats runs in the seventh tied the ballgame, but the tie was short-lived, as the Cubs immediately responded with two runs off Craig Stammen in the bottom of the seventh and held on for a 5-3 win in the opener of this four-game set.
Denard Span had two doubles and two RBIs, Wilson Ramos had two hits and a walk, and Doug Fister...
The Orioles are playing two games today and adding two players to their roster. Let's hear it for symmetry.
Kevin Gausman will come off the taxi squad, be officially recalled and start Game 1 against the Rays. It's just a question of whether he's the 26th player or Bud Norris' replacement.
Either way, the Orioles also are expected to recall reliever Evan Meek, since he flew into Baltimore last night.
How would the equation have changed if third baseman Manny Machado had to begin serving...
We're through three innings in Chicago and the Cubs and Nationals have managed just four hits.
Maybe it's because they can barely see the ball crossing the plate.
In a city known for its extreme weather, a dense fog has planted itself in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, leaving conditions increasingly tough to battle. Still, with less than full visibility, both teams have had little trouble making plays in the field, but haven't found much success at the plate.
Both Cubs starter...
When David Lough charged down the line for the winning run on Wednesday night, it not only gave the Orioles an important victory, but it provided them with their first series win all year against an American League Central opponent.
Until they took two of three from Chicago, the Orioles had lost four and tied two series this year against the Central. In order, they went 1-2 at Detroit, 1-2 against Kansas City, 1-2 at Minnesota, 0-3 at home against Detroit, 2-2 at Kansas City and 2-2 against...
ABERDEEN, Md. - Right-hander Dylan Bundy tonight will make his third, and likely last, start for short-season Single-A Aberdeen as the IronBirds host Hudson Valley here at Ripken Stadium.
Bundy will be pitching tonight on the one-year anniversary of his Tommy John surgery, which was performed by Dr. James Andrews last June 27.
In two Aberdeen starts, Bundy has pitched 10 innings, allowing seven hits and one run with one walk and 15 strikeouts. He has given up a .194 average against and opposing...
The third time's the charm.
At least, that's what Wilson Ramos is hoping.
After missing the team's last 14 games with a strained right hamstring - his second significant absence this season due to injury - the Nationals catcher was activated earlier today, and is ready to put a stop-and-start beginning to the 2014 season behind him.
"Yeah, it feels good," Ramos said of his health. "Those games in the minor leagues helped me a lot to be here and healthy and those games helped me to see...
